I think it would be wise to sacrifice a little athletic functions for height

Edit Post

In response to the recent threads concerning possible loss of athletic functions after LL procedure, I have a few things that I'd like to say.

I'm a devoted martial artist. It's very important for me, but looking physically/aesthetically flawed and being sexually unworthy due to my height isn't something I can live with either. Sometimes, I ask myself, what should I do? Let's take a deep breath and reflect.

First, suppose I did LL and lose 3-5% of my legs' athletic functions and have to face a 6'5" jacked boxer like Anthony Joshua in a streetfight. The thing is I'm already short in the first place, LL or not, I'm at a huge disadvantage regardless. Does it even matter whether my legs are at 100% of its functions or only 96%? I believe that luck, accuracy, mind power, technique will play a lot bigger roles in that situation.

Secondly, if we get into a fight twice a year, that'd probably be considered quite often. But with height, we benefit from it every time we meet people which is basically every single day. However, 2 extra inches can make a massive difference in terms of height statistically.

I believe Rickson Gracie's win here doesn't have anything to do with brute force.



The bonus is we might have the advantage of less likely getting kicked in the head after LL as I said.

So when do you go for LL?
